The football world is mourning the loss of Galynn Patricia Brady, the beloved mother of NFL legend Tom Brady, who reportedly passed away suddenly following a stroke.
Family friends confirmed the heartbreaking news over the weekend, describing Galynn as the “heart and soul” of the Brady family — a woman whose faith, strength, and unwavering support shaped one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history.
Galynn had long been admired for her resilience, particularly after publicly battling and overcoming breast cancer several years ago. Throughout Tom Brady’s storied career, she remained a constant presence of encouragement and pride, often celebrated by fans for her quiet strength and grace.
Tributes poured in from across the sports world Saturday night. Former teammates, coaches, and fans shared memories and condolences, honoring the woman many credit with being Tom Brady’s greatest inspiration.
Neither the Brady family nor representatives have released an official statement regarding funeral arrangements.
